Dear Santa, Please Pause Here—The Claus That Refreshes

Dear Santa, Please Pause Here—The Claus That Refreshes
A 1950s Christmas display at the National Christmas Center near Lancaster, Pennsylvania, features Jimmy, his sister, and Santa Claus. The jolly old gent is looking closely at Jimmy's note—"Dear Santa, please pause here"—which refers to the bottle of Coca-Cola ("the pause that refreshes") that Jimmy left for Santa on the mantelpiece.

The kids are so surprised at seeing Santa that they haven't even noticed the unwrapped toys, including a Blockhead! party game box, that he's left for them underneath the Christmas tree.

while santa looks like a real person, i find jimmy and his sister to be a bit creepy.

i could save myself a lot of time and effort is presents were unwrapped under the tree!
